About Colvend Golf Club

This challenging 18 hole parkland course, with spectacular views, is situated on the Solway Coast conveniently located near to Dumfries, Castle Douglas and Dalbeattie. Many of the holes offer challenging water features and tree lined fairways. The original 9 holes are demanding with small well guarded greens and undulating fairways. The par 3 8th hole is one of the best short holes in the country and is worthy of its stroke index 6. The additional 9 holes opened in 1997 are now well established and offer golf of the highest quality. Changing and shower facilities available. After your testing round of golf enjoy a well deserved meal in our well appointed Clubhouse. Individuals and parties catered for with excellent quality food, refreshments and wine at reasonable prices. Visiting parties most welcome.

Fantastische baan, met prachtige uitzichten. Vooral de eerste 9 Maar de tweede 9 is super uitdagend. De greenfee is zeer vriendelijk € 45,= p.p

Een prachtige en vooral uitdagende baan. Het onderhoud kan best wel iets beter, maar ja... onderhoud kost veel geld en dat is bij kleinere clubs een groeiend probleem. Met name de greens zijn hobbelig, bobbelig en met vooral veel mos.


Er is een blind hole op hole 1 - van laag naar hoog.


Op hole 3 is er een hele lastige blind hole van hoog naar laag, maar ook nog naar linksbuigend EN aflopend van rechts naar links (niet te zien) hoe...). Als je teveel naar rechts slaat, ligt de bal tussen de koeien!


Hole 4 gaat van hoog naar laag.


Hole 5 van laag naar hoog, blind hole.


Hole 9 is een blind hole.



Op hole 3 begint het flink te regenen. Na hole 8 besluiten we hole 18 te spelen en dan maar pauze te houden en te kijken of... Dan druppelt het ineens nog maar een beetje. We spelen dan toch maar door. We zijn toch al nat.



We maken de golfronde netjes af, ondanks de wisselende regenbuien die op ons neerdalen. Zelfs de score valt in dit weer nog mee ook!



Naderhand een gezellig babbeltje met de aardige mevrouw die drie dagen per week hier als vrijwilliger de kantine runt. Ze heeft heel wat te vragen EN te vertellen!

Even schakelen op deze parkbaan met de eerste 9 direct achter het clubhuis gelegen op een hoge helling - of wel - elke slag sta je schuin - of wel - dat gaat wel eens mis - zelfs bij de mevrouw van de receptie! Mooi uitzicht over de zee! De tweede negen liggen aan de andere kant van de weg en zijn wat vergevingsgezinder als is er nog genoeg uitdaging over! De greens waren slecht wat komt door gebrek aan water maar wel jammer!

You all know, those of you who rely on reviews to pick and choose where you go... that occasionally, if you play this game long enough you end up finding a jewel in the crown that you wish to pass onto your fellow nutcases that play and love this absurd pastime.


My buddy and I recently organised a trip up to Dumfries and Galloway, on advice we booked Southerness (and were suitably impressed), Powfoot (good test) and we then chose Colvend as our 3rd course as it gave us something different to the links nature of the other 2.


We arrived for our tee off time of 11.00am a little early and were met by a wee Scottish lassie named Wilma, she was super pleasant, had our cards and course planners together and our buggy all fired up and ready to go (more of that later!). The course is relatively short at just over 5,000 yards and wouldn’t normally be a course we would have considered but so glad we did. It is a delightful mix of shortish par 4’s, tricky par 3’s and the occasional test of straight hitting... we played it whilst the ground was still fiery from the recent hot weather which lent another dimension, but loved every minute, we are so looking forward to playing again under somewhat more normal conditions. So, that should be enough shouldn’t it? No, when you throw in that when we came in Wilma served us drinks in the bar and made us a snack while explaining that the club is run by volunteers, people who love the game and give of their time to make sure that we golfers have that great experience, artisan in its purest form. All this while sitting outside watching other players finish off on the really tricky 18th in gorgeous sunshine.. perfect!)... So, regardless of whether you want somewhere quirky but a real golfers paradise for your society or like us you were just looking for that hidden gem with your mates, play and support this wonderful example of pure golf where everyone we met was just delightful.


Just as a matter of interest, it is rather hilly in places, so if you are a little seasoned, infirm in any way, or just lazy like us 2.!... get a buggy, they have plenty so take advantage.

De vriendelijkheid van de Schotten richting gasten blijft een aangename ervaring. Hoe komt het toch dat dat in ons land eerder uitzondering dan regel is? Colvend is de eerste baan waar ik kennismaakte met blind shots en kruisende holes. Hole 13, een lange par - 4 zal ik niet snel vergeten. Hole 18 werd in een 2005 aangeduid als de meest pittoreske hole van Schotland. Colvend golf club is een goed onderhouden baan. De fairways zijn soms erg smal maar de ervaring is groots.
